Of course he wasn't knowledgeable enough about security to know that the 9/11 attackers didn't come through Canada. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2005/04/21/g...enna050421.html

Lets get this straight. This a surge because of all the words that could have been used to describe Bush's plan it's the one that's viewed most positively by focus groups.

I guess this is sort of a spoiler but my sister said that Wayne Palmer is the president now. I can't quite remember the situation from a previous season but didn't he almost murder someone? The show's a great waste of time but it's ridiculously far-fetched.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 10:30 AM) So who were the 5-27 people we killed with this attack (depending on who's statement you read) I assume that it's mostly the remnants of the Islamic Courts Union. But the reports are all over the place so who really knows. I believe Fazul's wife is in custody in Kenya though.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) What I love about Jack Bauer is that 24 hours can pass and he doesn't ever need to eat, drink, sleep, or go to the bathroom. This is what his sixth day in a row like that? Those mystical Satirs have nothing on him! He goes during the commercial breaks.

Doesn't Dubai have an indoor ski hill?

They didn't get any of them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6251077.stm f sakes...

U.S. still has not confirmed the kill. However I have heard that all that's left is a DNA test to prove it's him. However I believe it was thought that Ayman al-Zawahari was dead a couple of times as well. Huge kill if he's dead.

I've been following this pretty closely. Here's what I said about it on my blog. He's not Osama, Zawahiri or big ole Mullah Omar but Fazul Abdullah Mohammed and his crew have really got the attention of the Americans in Somalia these days. No doubt everyone's noticed that the U.S. has gotten back into the game in Somalia these last couple months worried over the formerly burgeoning radical Islamist force. Now the U.S. is trying to capitalize on their defeat as the Islamic Courts Union has been pushed into the Southernmost corner of the country. The last two days have seen gunship and helicopter strikes in the area and apparently top al-Qaeda leadership is the target, with Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, allegedly the leader of the al-Qaeda in this area the number one target. It's really a mystery as to what is actually transpiring here. No one seems to know exactly what the al-Qaeda presence is here or if the United States is just connecting the dots to promote their version of the War on Terror. But what seems certain is that there are some bad dudes and the U.S. is trying to get them. The confusion is certainly displayed by the conflicting media reports on the situation. But what I've taken note of is the lack of results we have seen from US attacks on the last remaining ICU strongholds. Considering the numerous debacles the Americans have been involved with in the region you would think that the Americans would trumpet any success as quickly as possible. Where's the military announcement about Mohammed or one of his cohorts deaths? How about dead body images ala Uday and Qusay? Well we've seen none so far. Is the area still inaccessible, due to remaining ICU forces? There are apparently Special Forces in the area, perhaps they'll play a role in assessing the results of the attacks. I imagine considering the risk of another embarassment in Somalia the U.S. would have only acted in the region with likelihood of success being very probable. And considering how this story has become headline news around the world it is only a matter of time before the media begins to question the outcome. That's why I tend to think that the United States actions in the region are not yet over. They will want to conclude their mission with a positive message and that's when we'll probably hear about the high value targets. The end of America's current actions there could very well be marked by a big news kill whether it happens at the end of their action or it already has. Considering the pathetic results in the War on Terror so far one would think the U.S. would want a success once and a while. And if the U.S. combines Ethiopia's victory with some big hits on al-Qaeda it would be at the very least a large symbolic success. Anyway I probably don't know enough about the region and its history to be speculating, and this is probably a story who's details will never be fully revealed but it's damn interesting all the same. thedanreport.blogspot.com

What I want to hear: How the hell we're going to hold off the Taliban in Afghanistan.

There's now a video out on the internet of Saddam's body under a white sheet. Then some guy pulling it down to show his head and a large gash in his neck.

Proud to say I've never plugged a toilet!

Watched Green Street Hooligans tonight. Didn't know much about it before watching and was pleasantly surprised. Elijah Wood is a weird choice for the character but the rest of the characters are great. http://imdb.com/title/tt0385002/maindetails

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 3, 2007 -> 08:12 PM) I agree. Saw it at the theaters, you wouldn't be pissed at giving up 4 bucks for it. Have not been able to find anything even remotely interesting at the video store lately. Any recommendations? Perhaps if you're in the mood for another western you could check out The Proposition. I haven't actually seen it yet but I've heard good things.

Do yourselves a favor and check out The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

The people make the religion. In some cases Nuke you're absolutely right and the religion of peace becomes quite the opposite. But in the other cases it's just another religion and not some kind of enemy or antagonist to vilify.

Checked my IMDB vote list and I actually haven't seen that many movies from 2006 but The Departed, Babel and An Inconvenient Truth were my favorites.

At least it was all done professionally.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) If we had terrorist attacks on the US, what would the world stage matter to the American people. Not a damn thing. Afghanistan? Iraq?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) Here's your assmuption based on a whole lof of nothing. We haven't had any successful attacks on us since. You are assuming that would be the case with Gore in office. I'm not willing to jump to that conclusion. Well those are Northside's "assumptions" not mine. And I said I think Gore would have done better on the world stage. I don't really think of terrorist attacks on US soil as a indicator of this. I don't really assume anything. Like you say this is all speculation.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) It sounds to me like you are making pedictions on 'what ifs'. Yah I just did.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) Who's to say we wouldn't have had 5 more 9-11's since then if Gore was in office. You guys are make making some hellacious assumptions based on a whole bunch of nothing. Well I don't really like making predictions based on "what ifs" so yes I'm making some leaps of faith.
